It has been two days since Kiara started her martial arts training, due to which her body has been aching when she got up for her morning lectures. As soon as she entered her classroom, everyone looked at her, as if checking her from top to bottom, either with nasty expression or perverted eyes. in these two days when Kiara was focused in her training, an unwanted rumour about her was circulating in the university. She walked ahead to take her seat, unaffected with the sudden attention and oblivious to the rumours. A wave of whispers caught her attention as she looked at her friend with questioning eyes.
"The rumour about you being a mistress is circulating in the campus." Answered Vaani with a straight face, as if there was nothing to be curious about such news.
"Most probably someone saw you with your brother" Vaani stated as the matter of the fact.
Kiara and Vaani became friends when they entered the university. At first, Kiara was cautious about telling Vaani about her background. But slowly they became best friends and Kiara thought it wasn't fair to hide her family background from her best friend who shares her every little secret with her.
Kiara told Vaani about her family background and explained her whole situation and asked her to help her keep it a secret.
Nothing change between them due to Kiara's revelation.
Vaani also knew about Kiara and Aditya's past. Though both of them didn't know what Rihaan actually told Aditya.
Even three days ago, Kiara had told Vaani about her brother sending her to university.
Due to which Vaani knew the core reason for the rumours and seemed unfazed about it.
"I should have been more careful" Kiara sighed and accepted her mistake.
"It's hard to deny this rumour. I need to think about the solution thoroughly." Kiara spoke again.
Soon the lecture started and ended one after other. After three lectures, they had one free lecture in their schedule. Kiara and Vaani took it as a break and got out of the class ignoring the whispers around them.
Meanwhile, Aditya and Vivaan were walking on the campus as they talked about random things. Or Vivaan talking about random things and Aditya answering with few short words, to be specific.
As soon as Aditya saw Kiara across the campus he came to halt and stared at her as she walked beautifully in her short, sleeveless dress with her long wavy hairs tied in a loose ponytail.
Vivaan noticed Aditya's action and followed his gaze and raised his eyebrows when he saw who he was looking at.
"So you heard about the rumours as well?," Vivaan said with his eyebrows raised.
"Rumours?" Aditya asked with one word.
Vivaan looked at Aditya with a confused expression, unable to understand why was he looking at Kiara if he didn't know about the rumours circulating about her, but yet he told him about it.
"There are rumours of her being mistress of someone who seemed to be very rich."
"Source?" Aditya asked again with just one word.
"Some of her classmates saw her getting out of the limited edition Mercedes. Though its just rumour no one knows whether it's true or not yet." Vivaan explained.
"It's true," Aditya spoke.
"Huh?! Her being mistress?" Vivaan asked.
"No"
"Then?"
"Her getting out of limited edition Mercedes."
"Doesn't that means its true?"
"Do you know who she is?" Aditya asked with a straight face.
Vivaan looked at Aditya curiously which indicated he didn't.
"Kiara Parihaar, or should I say Kiara Ratan Parihaar. She is the daughter of the chairman of The Parihaar Empire as well as Allure Cologne. And the person in the car was most probably her elder brother Paras Parihaar, the CEO of Parihaar Empire." Aditya explained everything.
"Woah! Its been a long time you said so many words at once." Vivaan joked.
"Well, she has a very high profile. Indeed she can't be a mistress." Vivaan stated Seriously as they walked ahead getting nearer to Kiara.
Meanwhile, As Kiara and Vaani walked for a while in the campus, Rudra walked towards them.
"Hey, Kiara! Are you okay now?"
Said Rudra a bit louder than usual stopping them in middle of campus.
These two people talking in the middle of campus were very good looking. And Rudra had a very high profile in the university from the very start. They grabbed everyone's attention as the campus which was in constant commotion came to an instant silence.
Kiara was confused for just a second, but she immediately understood what Rudra was trying to do and played along with him.
Everyone near them could clearly hear their conversation.
"Ah! Yes, I'm fine. That day I was dazed and wasn't paying attention. I almost had an accident. Thanks for the lift that day, even if I didn't get hurt I would have missed my lecture. I was in such a hurry I couldn't even thank you properly." She said with a sweet smile.
"There is no need to thank me. I should have dropped you at the front gate instead of the backside but I was heading for an important meeting and it was straight ahead from that road." Said Rudra.
"Its okay" Kiara reassured.
"Instead I should apologize, I wanted to make an impression so I took my limited edition Mercedes to the meeting. You are in such an inconvenience because of me. You must've been bothered due to these rumours circulating around." Said Rudra with an apologetic expression.
"Ah! Rumours! It's just the rumours. Don't worry. Rumours can't justify my character. It doesn't matter as soon as my close ones trust me." Kiara said with a slightly bitter smile.
Meanwhile, Aditya and Vivaan were watching as the scene unfolded. They were close enough to hear their conversation.
"What the hell is this happening. What is this brother of yours trying to do?" Vivaan said with confusion as a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
